Outdoor Research created the Durable Stuff Sack for outdoor folks who tend to wear out gear quicker than the rest of the people out there. The Hydroseal-coated Antron nylon fabric takes a serious beating and comes back for more. Outdoor Research added fully-taped seams to protect against the occasional rain-soaked hike, and a large dust flap ensures you don’t find your layers covered with dirt at day’s end.
A friend got the 30L sack. It's heavy for a backpacking accessory, and I'm not sure what I'd pack in this if I were using it to backpack, but it seems like it would be useful to compartmentalize things in a duffle for either car-camping or climbing trips where weight and packability aren't as important. It is waterproof-ish, but not roll-top, so stuff will get wet if you're getting drenched.Four stars for dirt cheap organization on car-based trips.
I believe he got Cayenne, which has more copper in the color and is less washed-out looking than the picture.
These things are tough... if they rip at the daisy chain or pull cord, you know right where to sent them for a replacement (lifetime manufacturers warranty). Great construction and great warranty make this bag the perfect choice.
The lichen color is more of a rich green than the washed out BC pictures show, but the material is shiny and getting a good picture of it is tricky based on lighting. Here are a pair of stuff sacks holding climbing shoes.
Awesome stuff sack. Beefy, just like the name implies. The daisy chain on the side and the handle on the bottom allow the thing to be lashed to a pack and carried in just about any position. Considering the materials its made out of, so long as the thing is mounted with the opening facing down, it's rainproof (which is nice, because I intend to use them both for organization and as bear bags this spring)
Good stuff! I got the 5L on a whim from steepandcheap.com, and, although it doesn't actually hold much, I can keep my puffy jacket, camera, and a few pairs of socks in there (all the stuff that must, no matter what, stay dry). Looks pretty sweet too.
The 30L or 45L would be ideal for a non-packable style rectangular sleeping bag. according to the package, OR recommends the 30L, but I would measure just how small you can pack your bag down to, then compare that to the sizing chart to the right.
For small sizes (10&5L) I like the simplicity of these drawstring stuff sacks over the roll-top closure for the "dry bag" version (which I get in the larger sizes, 25L). If you leave enough empty space in these bags you can still spin the bag's top tight enough to be submersible for almost 30minutes. I slowly waded across a lake once, and thankfully everything stayed dry. As with the other bags- get the ugly colors for cheap on SAC.
I think backcountry made a mistake when listing the volume of each size. the smallest one, 5L, is not 205 cubic inches, 5L actually equals 305 cubic inches, which makes sense, since the next size up, 10L, is 610 cubic inches. just an observation.
[5] 205cu in (5L); [10] 610cu in (10L); [15] 915cu in (15L); [20] 1220cu in (20L); [30] 1831cu in (30L); [45] 2746cu in (45L)
Dimensions:
[5] 13 x 6in (33 x 15cm); [10] 15.25 x 7in (39 x 18cm); [15] 17.5 x 8in (44 x 20cm); [20] 19.75 x 9in (50 x 23cm); [30] 21.25 x 11in (54 x 28cm); [45] 22.75 x 13in (58 x 33cm)
